General Description: Wild about sums Ashi up in one word; closely followed by unique and free spirited. Her clothing is as unique as her personality, along with the rest of her body.
She stands at five feet seven inches tall and weighs roughly one hundred and thirty five pounds. Her form is lean and yet muscular due to her many years as a user of Taijutsu. Her skin is darkly tanned, and there are two red fanged markings on her cheeks - the Inuzuka clan symbol.
Her hair, while naturally brown, has not been its natural color in many years: recently dyed purple, it now hangs about halfway down her back. No matter how much she brushes it it is still wild looking - mostly due to her natural feral appearance due to being an Inuzuka. So, while sometimes left down the majority of the time she wears it up in a ponytail to keep it out of her way.
While the Inuzuka perfers almost no make-up other than black eyeliner - her lashes being naturally thick and black - she does sport a few piercings. Both of her ears are pierced multiple times with both hoops and stones, a small red gem adorns the left side of her nose piercing, and she has her right lip pierced with a small stone instead of a hoop.
While her clothing isn't as crazy as it was when she was younger her outfit these days is still pretty out there: her perferred dress is a white shirt with black trim. The shirt itself hangs off of her shoulders and has sleeves that go down slightly below her elbows with decorative tears covering the back and front which reveal the black netted material she wears beneath. Straps on the front and the back of the shirt are what hold it up on her shoulders. The shirt itself goes almost down to her knees. Beneath this she wears a pair of black shorts that go down only about an inch or two longer than her shirt, with netted material going the rest of the way, and both feet snuggly planted into open toed black sandals. Her headband is normally worn around her right leg, tied firmly and snuggly.



Personality: Ashi is wild, both in spirit and in body. She loves to free run, and otherwise be surrounded in nature. She's unpredictable because of her wild side, and rather feral when it comes down to it. However, it is also this that makes her fiercely loyal. She would fight for a friend, even die for them, if it came down to it.
Ashi is also fiercely protective because of her loyalty. She knows what it is to loose someone, and therefore has become increasingly protective of her family throughout the years - violently so.
While not known to go straight for the throat, she does have a reputation for sticking up for herself, and isn't afraid to fight - even if she does try and solve the problems as peacefully as possible at first. However, not all things can be solved in that manner, and when it comes to the hand and hand she's a vicious opponent to the point of being frightening.
Otherwise Ashi likes to mainly keep to herself and her close knit group of friends and family. If she doesn't know you then she won't likely approach you unless she sees you doing something wrong, or has a serious reason to do so. It makes her come off as somewhat cold and impersonal - though the people she considers friends and family quickly know the other side of her.
When not around strangers she's fun loving, joking, caring, and an all around nice person to be around: the type of person who you could have a conversation with for hours.
When working Ashi shows another side of her: her serious side. When her head is in the game she focuses on a task until she completes it; and to the best of her ability. She's not above trying something over and over again until she gets it right - though she does tend to find a way to do it right the first time.
When training the same rules apply, especially if she's training herself - she will get back up until she's too exhausted to even move (and then usually has to be dragged home). When training someone else she doesn't take "I can't" for an answer. She believes everyone is capable of what they want to do, so long as their heart is in it, and isn't above helping her student or students to find another way to do a task, or complete something, if it's too difficult the way they were doing it.
Likes: Ashi loves food. The more meat the better - or so she says. Her favorite snack would have to be jerky, while everything else that is offered to her is tried at least once. She's not overly picky after all, but she does prefer meat with her meal, insists on it.
Despite her wildness Ashi also enjoys a nice quiet place and a good book, especially as she gets older. She'll read anything given to her, though she prefers books that help further her knowledge. However, a good story book is never passed up. A good shady tree, a nice book, maybe a snack? Heaven. Simply heaven.
Ashi has also shown a great like of swimming, and enjoys dragging her grand daughter off to one pond or another. The joy of exploring the water, is always something she looks forward to - though the best part would have to be spending the time with her family.
Ashi also enjoys colors - normally in her hair. It's part of her wild personality, or perhaps just one of the unique aspects about her. Anything from a complete rainbow to a solid color, so long as it's colorful she enjoys it - though she has settled for a while on purple, her favorite color.
Dislikes: Loud and or obnoxious people tend to push her buttons a little much. While she doesn't overall like complete silence she believes in a certain level of restraint and those that lack that tend to tick that little nerve in her eye that makes her look at times a bit psychotic.
She also doesn't care very much for vegetables, preferring to keep to a mainly meat diet.
Onto this list are also those who treat any sort of animal in a cruel nature, having been known to lash out physically towards those she catches doing so. She also tends to not like those who think they know everything. She cannot stand people who think they're always right, and tends to avoid them when possible.
Finally, those who attempt to harm her family fall in the largest category; and while Ashi is not a straight to the violence kind of person she does tend to become like that with anyone or anything that threatens her family. Then all that goes through her mind is every way possible she can cause harm to that person back - with the will and urge to back up those thoughts and make them into actions.
Motivations: Akai, her canine companion is one of her biggest motivations. She wants to be everything she can possibly be for her, and wants to be as strong and smart as possible so that she knows she'll always be capable of taking care of her.
Her family is also a big motivation for her, always pushing her to do better while accepting and enjoying the things she has accomplished. She wants to be as much an example as motivation for the rest of her family - therefore she wants to be the best that she can be. She believes that if she can do it then they can too, and she's more than willing to help them do that.
This motivation also is for their protection as well; she wants to be able to be the protector that her family needs. She wants to be able to keep them completely free from harm, especially as she watches her grand daughter grow older and stronger slowly but surely.
Fears: Ashi fears most of all in some way failing her canine companion, or not doing enough and her companion becoming injured or worse in some way. She also doesn't like closed in spaces, feeling very uncomfortable and otherwise uneasy in them or worse depending on how small of a space.
She also has a somewhat irrational fear of going to take a test or complete a task and having forgotten everything she was supposed to know and otherwise ending up with a very nasty case of stage fright, which also to a certain degree happens to be one of her fears.
Most importantly Ashi fears losing her family; she already suffered a near miss with Aisling when she was kidnapped and tortured, and fears a repeat to this.

History: A rebel without a cause; or so that's how she had been described by her mother. Ashi and her mother had butted heads from about the time that Ashi was capable of talking. She grew quickly, and learned even quicker. While not exactly a prodigy she did tend to finish in the top five the majority of the time.
Her father, a loving man, who did everything and anything that he could for his family, and to keep his family safe, was always there for Ashi when she needed him. This cause a lot of conflict through many years of Ashi growing up, especially when she became old enough to see it far easier. Nothing she did was ever good enough to her mother's eyes: chores were never completed to satisfication, if she was asked to deliver something or go get it it was never fast enough for her mother, if she was asked to be dressed in a presentable manner it was never good enough. It caused Ashi a great deal of stress, and overall hatred towards the woman who had birthed her - which in itself started when she was about three or so years old.
On the other hand, however, her father was more than willing to try and make up for the lack of love and affection from her mother. He'd often gift her in secret, little trinkets he'd picked up during missions, or books he had come across, or even an extra few hugs to show that he loved and cared about her. All within secret, because if Ashi's mother found out, like she did on a few times, he'd be yelled at for spoiling her, and she would be sent to her room without supper, or off to do another chore.

When Ashi entered into the Academy it was like a little gift from above. It was reason enough to keep her out of the house, away from her mother for a few hours. It also provided her with another distraction; something else to keep her mind on so that she didn't constantly wonder why her mother didn't like her, or didn't love her.
She made a few friends while in the Academy, but most began to avoid her as she started to show a far more wild side than even more Inuzuka tended to show. At first it was minor offenses, easily overlooked: talking out during lessons, moving around too much. But, after a while the acting out got worse: while Ashi never was the one to pick the fight she was sure the one to finish it, and often by knocking the other kid out cold, or otherwise busting them up pretty badly. This caused reports to be sent home, and punishments to be handed out.
The more it angered her mother, though, the more Ashi did it. She became a rebel without any cause other than the agitation and agrivation of her mother.
However, despite all of this acting out and bad behavior Ashi still remained within the top five of her class - her grades and skills remained steadily higher than the majority, and she never was shy to answer a question when called on - with the answers to those questions being right. She still studied hard, practiced even harder.
The goal in her mind was simple: the sooner she could graduate the sooner she could start to save up money. Which meant the sooner she could move out from beneath her mother. Even if it meant living in a one bedroom with no furniture she was more than willing to take it. Anything at all to escape the madness, the hatred.
Graduation came soon enough. Before Ashi turned twelve she was graduation the Academy with marks placing her within the top five of her class. While her father showed and gifted her, her mother didn't - though she had more than enough chores waiting for Ashi at home, which was around the time that the problems in Ashi's household began to be known to others - at least those in the Inuzuka compound.

Life as a Genin was just as exciting as the Academy had been; only now she had the perk of earning money from missions. She was always careful not to bring her stash of ryo home, though, knowing that her mother would likely take it from her the moment she walked through the door.
She took ever mission that she could get her hands on; both solo and squad missions. If it kept her out o the house then she was happy.
It was about this time that she began to become closer with Kenta Inuzuka - the Hakage - and her sensei, and the clan head. The problems in Ashi's household were not unknown to his ears, and he kept a close eye on Ashi as she continued to grow stronger under his instruction.
Shortly afterwards the incident happened: Ashi got into one of many fights with her mother and her mother, thinking that Ashi was finally old enough, was given the boot. No notice, no chance to make plans, she was kicked right out of the house.
Kenta of course heard of this issue and outstretched his hand; offering her a place to live, in his home, in exchange for a few chores and babysitting his children occasionally. She was more than happy to accept.
Ashi, after a few weeks, returned to her mother's home to grab the rest of her stuff and finish the process of moving. While gathering her stuff, with her ninken Akai in tow, her mother attempted to knife her in the back - however, her plan was foiled by Akai's fast actions, and the painful tackle that left her mother screaming and pinned to the floor with the large ninken towering over her form and holding her there.
Kenta, having been in the area and having heard her mother's screams, came to investigate: only to find the scene before him - Ashi in shock, Ashi's ninken pinning her mother to the floor, and a kitchen knife lying just out of reach on the floor. Rage filled through him, and after instructing the ninken to back up he imprisoned Ashi's mother in water while leaving Ashi the choice of what to do with her.
Ashi however caught a wiff of something that disturbed her, and while Kenta kept her mother imprisoned she went to investigate. She found the remains of her father who had been brutally murdered; and the scent upon him was her mothers. It wasn't hard to put two and two together - Ashi's mother had killed her father, likely because her father didn't belieev in her views of Ashi.
That was all Ashi needed to decide to kill her.
Kenta took her mother out back, and then released her in the yard while handing Ashi what he had called the Violence Hammer. Ashi wielded it with a great deal of skill - and in the end brutally beat her mother to death, finally hearing that the reason behind her mothers hatred was the fact that she was jealous of Ashi's success.
The rage died down as her mother died and Ashi found herself confused, and scared. Now that she didn't have that rage to hide behind she didn't know how to feel: but again Kenta came to her aide. He had her leave before anyone showed up, while taking care of the clean up and the issue of her mother and father's death.

Ashi became a Chuunin soon after, and finally began to become close with Amaya Uchiha. Perhaps it was the other female's frail appearance, or the personality beneath the otherwise scary outter appearance of the other female, but she quickly fell in love.
While she trained, or when she went on missions, she thought of the other female. The two grew close very quickly, and before Ashi knew it, around the time she turned fifteen, Amaya announced that her experiment - something Ashi had been against at first because of the risk to Amaya - had worked, and that she was pregnant with their child.
Ashi poured her heart and soul into creating the perfect place for them to live; and into taking care of Amaya as she was pregnant.
Ashi grew extremely protective: violently so towards the end of Amaya's pregnancy.
During a pack meeting, in which Amaya was invited since she was now considered family, Amaya went into labor. Not many hours later Aisling was born - their daughter with the sensitive hearing. The entire time that Aisling and Amaya were in the hospital Ashi stood guard over them - along with Kenta and Naota (Amaya's brother).

Ashi's life was complete with her family, and continued to improve with her new promotion to Special Jounin. Ashi became incredibly skilled with the Violence Hammer, and showed no mercy when it came to enemies. Work was work, and at home it was bliss and peace for the otherwise wild Inuzuka. Aisling had tamed her soul, just as Amaya had tamed her heart. She was complete.

As Aisling grew so did Ashi - becoming stronger still. Their little family grew once more as well as Amaya all but adopted her brother's son after Naota's disappearance.  And soon another promotion was in sight: Jounin (A). It was about this time that Aisling was kidnapped - in which they later found out she had been also tortured. Ashi was among the first to go looking, right alongside Amaya. She didn't sleep, she didn't eat. Her only focus was on finding her daughter and bringing her home to safety.
That's exactly what they did, too. It took a few days, but soon enough they found her - tied down to a table, bloodied and beaten. The violence that ensued, not only from herself but from Amaya, was staggering. Blood painted the walls, flesh painted the floors, becoming a mix that was almost perfect.
Ashi along with Amaya brought her daughter home: and kept her safely there, having set more than an example of what would happen to anyone who tried to hurt her daughter in the future.

Aisling of course recovered, and grew even quicker. Shortly after Aisling became Hakage, Ashi found herself being promoted once more, to Jounin (S). She helped to keep her daughter safe while she ruled, and still afterwards as Aisling stepped down after becoming pregnant.
Now with a grand daughter running around as well Ashi cannot be happier. While still going on the occasional mission, Ashi has made her family her priority: planning to train any of them who need it and be there fore all - she wants them to grow as strong as she has.

RP Sample: Breezy, quiet, with a coolness coming from the nearby waterfall.. what could get any better? She had plopped herself down a good hour or so ago, back resting against the tree behind her. She hadn't moved more then an inch since then, and that was simply to adjust when her butt has begun to feel numb. Every so often she'd peek open an eye, glancing at Akai as she jumped in and out of the water nearby, scaring the fish repeatedly that swam close to the edge.
"Akai, do you intend on catching any of those fish? I'm beginning to feel hungry.."
